Abstract
Obesity in pregnancy is associated with increased pregnancy complications such as congenital malformations, stillbirths, macrosomia, neonates with low Apgar scores, pre-eclampsia, and gestational diabetes. In addition to these adverse outcomes, obese women face additional challenges due to longer labor progression, increased cesarean deliveries and postoperative complications, difficulties in administering anesthesia, and increased risk of thromboembolic disease. The purpose of this review is to provide an evidence-based guide to obstetric providers when caring for obese women in the intrapartum and postpartum period.
